Matt Tootle: 'Notts need to stop making silly little mistakes'

Matt Tootle has stressed that Notts County must stop the "silly little mistakes" which have led to three defeats in the last four games.

The Magpies were beaten 2-1 by Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday night as goals from Jake Jervis and Nauris Bulvitis came either side of Jon Stead's strike.

Tootle believes that Notts could feel positive about their performance in the League Two clash, but added that they are conceding soft goals and undoing all their good work.

He told reporters: "We can be encouraged by the way we went about our business in the second half, but it's just silly little mistakes which are leading to goals.

"It's annoying because everybody is going to make mistakes but you might get that bit of luck where it doesn't result in a goal.

"But I thought in the second half we dominated the game. We just have to keep going. We are too good a team to lose games at home like that.

"The gaffer is working with us on keeping the ball better and moving it forward quicker on the floor.

"I said in an interview the other day that it will take time. I remember when we went up with Crewe we lost our first six games so there's nothing to worry about just yet.

"We've just got to keep plugging away - it will come."
